This is a record of my journey as a Muslim. I used to be Catholic and belonged to a missionary organisation. After my conversion, I sat on the board of a Muslim converts' organisation and specialised in da'wah programmes, convert management, interfaith issues and apostasy cases. I am an initiate of a Sufi order. As such, the articles and writings tend to cover these areas.
All the Arabic and graphics could not have been done without the help of my wife, Zafirah.

Imam Muhammad Taqi Lisan al-Mulk (r.a.) on 'Utsman ibn 'Affan (r.a.)

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

It is recorded, in Nasikh at-Tawarikh, by Imam Muhammad Taqi Lisan al-Mulk (r.a.), the Shi’ah scholar of sirah and ahadits, that ibn ‘Abbas (r.a.)
said, “May Allah have Mercy on Abu ‘Amr,” the kunya of ‘Utsman (r.a.). “By Allah, he was the noblest and most
righteous of men. He prayed a great deal
at the time before dawn, shed many tears when he remembered the Fire, the first
to do righteous deeds and to offer help at the time of calamity, beloved,
confident and loyal, the one who equipped the army of Tabuk, the son-in-law of
Rasulullah.”
